Content Template not appearing in CK editor

Hi, I have just created a new style template, very simple a couple of images and divs.

I have gone back to a page to enter the new template in an HTML section and none of the templates appear. Including the ones provided with mojoportal.

If I go back to the content template section I can see my new one I created is still there.

I have noticed that this issue only occurs in CKeditor, if I set to FCKeditor the content templates are visible.

Re: Content Template not appearing

Hi,

These templates get serialized to json format for consumption in CKeditor and it can be problematic if your template has single quotes in it or a missing double quote. I would look closely at the source view of your template and try to solve it by getting rid of single quotes or apostrophes. Any template that does have problems breaks the entire json so other templates don't work either if there is one bad one. The older FCKeditor uses xml for the templates which is why it is more tolerant.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Content Template not appearing

Joe,

The template had a floor plan in it and measurements for a room.

therefor the text 8'0" x 11'7" had to be changed to 8ft0ins x 11ft7ins and all works fine now.

Many thanks.

Re: Content Template not appearing

Hi Joe, I was going to add this information to the Content Template documentation, but then I thought that maybe a better approach would be to encode any quotes or other special characters, if possible. Do you think this is something that could be fixed?

Re: Content Template not appearing

Hi Jamie,

It would be worth noting it as a known issue. I don't want to say it is impossible to solve it but I remember trying really hard to solve it without success. The problem as I recall is differentiating between things that need to be encoded and things that will be broken if you do encode them.

One could solve this specific example, the solution of changing to ft and ins works but one could also have solved it in source view like

8’0" x 11’7"

which would display as 8'0" x 11'7"

but I think for the CSS class names in the template it really needs the actual double quotes so we don't want to encode that.

Best,

Joe

Re: Content Template not appearing

Hi Maddy,

Updates to the template will not be reflected in the content that the template was used. You will have to modify that content manually.

HTH,
